For those seeking to enhance comfort during long journeys or add modern entertainment features without compromising the vehicle's premium aesthetic, installing a rear monitor is an appealing upgrade.

Its standout feature is a 12.8-inch high-resolution IPS panel, delivering crisp and vibrant visuals from any viewing angle. This allows for direct access to streaming apps like YouTube, Netflix, and TVING, enabling passengers to enjoy a wide array of content. Additionally, the monitor supports wireless mirroring, allowing for easy connection to smartphones and the display of mobile content on the larger screen. The Nova X13 Plus effectively elevates the in-car entertainment experience, adding significant value and comfort to the G90's rear cabin without detracting from its sophisticated ambiance.
Genesis G90 Rear Monitor Installation Process
The installation of the Nova X13 Plus rear monitor is performed with a focus on preserving the G90's original interior. Utilizing vehicle-specific connectors and brackets, the monitor is integrated seamlessly, mimicking a factory-installed component without requiring any permanent modifications or drilling. This 'Plug and Play' approach ensures a clean finish and maintains the integrity of the vehicle's structure.
- Precise Measurement and Mounting: The installation begins with accurately measuring the recline angle of the rear seats and the spacing between headrests. This ensures the monitors are mounted with perfect left-right balance and optimal viewing angles for passengers.
- Wiring Integration: Power and data connections are routed through the vehicle's existing wiring harnesses, following factory paths. This method guarantees electrical stability, enhances system durability, and minimizes the risk of any electrical issues.
- System Calibration and Testing: Once physically installed, the system undergoes thorough calibration. This includes testing all functionalities, such as touch responsiveness, streaming app performance, and wireless mirroring capabilities, to ensure everything operates flawlessly.
